When I got panicked after losing my page ranking, I tried in vain to get help in the Google community. Some people said page ranking isn't important as long as you've good contents. Well, it may not be that vital but it's certainly one of the factors what some sponsors in the US are looking at.
It's so important to find the right people to help you. Many times when I'm in trouble, I would post in the Blogger or Google Community for help, but I get a lot of links directing me to go to their sites to read instead. Being a SEO idiot, I coudn't understand most of their techie language. I need very clear specific instructions, or screenshots to guide me as I'm really afraid to mess up my blog. I'm quite sure many of you out there are just like me, who are scared to make changes.

I'd engaged Gyula for his services after my page ranking dropped to"N/A", and remained the same even four months later after changing my url. He spent some time working on my blog and Google Webmasters etc, and I was delighted and relieved when my page ranking went up from "N/A" to "3" in just two weeks! Timing was good too, as Google don't usually update their Toolbar PageRank frequently. This came as a surprise for webmasters as everyone assumed that there won't be another PageRank update before 2014. Lucky me!

My blog had also scored a miserable 26/100 in the Search Engine Visibility Score before I hired Gyula to help me. Look at my score now - at 57/100! It's at an average score, but it went up more than double!

I've just ordered another report from Gyula to see what other areas of errors I'm having, and hopefully able to fix them.

Here's what you'll be getting from his report, which is rather detailed. I've to admit I may not understand all of them, but it's certainly good to know more about your own blog.

Gyula owns quite a few informative sites. If you're like me who has no time, or is afraid to touch anything in your blog settings or make changes in your Google Analytics and Webmastes Tool in case things go wrong, I strongly recommend you to engage someone like Gyula to fix your errors.

Hey Shirley, I am like you, maybe wose..SEO illiterate... Recently my blog cannot publish comments on the main page, only on sub pages and i was sort of helpless..then i retraced back what I had done and managed to find the cause... Phew... Guyla is indeed a a great help in times like this...i will certainly checked into his websites you have given...

Hi Shirley, good that you rectified the page rank error with the help of a SEO expert. Furthermore, appreciate you for checking your website'e health and noting the problems with page rank, traffic, page loading time etc.

PageRank (PR) is Google's view of the importance of a web page. A ten on ten is full score. Wikipedia is ranked 9/10.

If we have the Internet explorer with Google tool bar installed and the PageRank button enabled we can easily view the PageRank of the page we opened. There is no need to visit other SEO sites to find out our PR or others' PR.

In Google chrome there is an extension called 'PageRank status' which if we install and enable will show us all about Google PR as well as Alexa rank, site traffic and a lot more details of SEO and the like of the site that we open. An awesome extension ! With this data it is easy to make modifications on your site to make it SE optimized.

One factor we all must take care of is the page loading time. With a site jam packed with so many widgets, videos, bulky graphics ads, and the like with tricky redirects the loading time increases proportionately.

Sign up for Google analytics and Google webmaster tools for analyzing traffic and to diagnose problems with website.

Rajiv, I'm real fortunate to have met the right person to help me through this ordeal. I actually have that Google tool bar installed, but have never bothered to use it unless someone informs me of certain issues like the last one on page rank that I'd encountered. I usually don't bother about such stuff until things happen. Lol!

I've also registered at Google Analytics & Webmaster Tools since I started blogging from day 1, but I've never gone into them to analyze, let alone diagnose. It's complicating in there, so I try not to touch anything in there. Lol!

Thanks again for the helpful sources, which will benefit those who are keen in SEO etc. I've no time & knowledge to go into these. Will just look for help if needed :)

Hazel, thanks for coming by! I didn't deliberately work on my page ranking until it disappeared & dropped to N/A after changing my url. If you're referring to how long it takes to recover my PR, it's about 2 weeks.
